Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening nuts, leading to pipe deformation or damage.Use a torque wrench to tighten nuts to the manufacturer's recommended specification, ensuring even pressure distribution.
Using the wrong size U-bolt for the pipe diameter.Always verify the nominal pipe size and select a U-bolt with the corresponding inside width (A) for a secure and proper fit.

Common Applications

  • Marine and offshore installations
  • Chemical processing plants
  • Wastewater treatment facilities
  • Food and beverage processing
